Poem by Stephen Crane

* * *

With eye and with gesture
You say you are holy.
I say you lie;
For I did see you
Draw away your coats
From the sin upon the hands
Of a little child.
Liar!

1. Once a man clambering to the housetops
2. I explain the silvered passing of a ship at night
3. In the night
4. To the maiden
5. You tell me this is God?
